I had so much to do today, but got distracted by the three red envelopes in my mailbox. What that means is...
NetFlix 2: Electric Boogaloo
Bullshit! Season 1: Disc 3- Finally done with the series. It's a fantastic show that I recommend that everyone see. There's so many "Huh, I did not know that..." moments that it's worth the price of NetFlix alone. I'm pretty sure I'll buy the series when I start to build up my collection again, which isn't going to be for a while. I'm done reviewing this though since it's the 4th time it's been on here (I split it up to watch a couple different things instead of the whole series all at once).
Team America: World Police - Two words... Fuck YEAH! The details that went into this were phenominal. It was a funny script that petered out during the middle 20 minutes or so, but got funny and exciting towards the end again. It sent a message the way that only Parker and Stone know how. Parker's musical contribution was fantastic as well. The songs may have been funny, but the tones of each song fit in perfectly. The hand to hand fights were hilarious since you can't really do anything more than slap fights with puppets. I would watch it again, probably with someone who hasn't seen it before, but that's only because of the lulls in the script. It would have been a perfect 70 minute movie. I give it a 6 out of 10 with a plus 1.5 for the puppet sexing.
Son of the Mask- (Don't judge me, don't you dare judge me) This is a guilty pleasure. I love the story and the idea of The Mask. I own the first comic series. I loved the Return of the Mask. I have even read the Batman crossover where the Joker gets the Mask. It only seemed fitting that I see this, and I was plesantly surprised. The visuals and effects were decent (but how many times can I be impressed with the Tazmanian Devil spin...). Despite having a dog and a baby as the main characters, they both come off as believable in their respective roles. I liked Jamie Kennedy as the Mask and just wished that he had more screen time as the alter-ego. I've had a little bit of a crush on Traylor Howard ever since Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place, so she can do no wrong in my eyes (is it bad that if I find a girl attractive, I'll let her get away with things?). Alan Cummings was perfect in his role of Loki, however I found Bob Hoskins to be horribly irritating as Odin (especially every time he screamed Loki's name to get his attention). The other major problem I had with the movie was how painfully simple the exchange from The Mask to The Son Of The Mask was... like in the Mask, Stanley lived in Edge City where as Tim Avery lives in Fringe City. Stanley's dog was named Milo and Tim's dog was named Otis (both Jack Russel Terriers). Kennedy's character of Tim Avery worked as an animator, a very liberal borrowing of Tex Avery's name and occupation...( you know, Tex Avery... created Droopy Dog and Screwy Squirrel) In fact, this whole movie played out like a Tex Avery cartoon. I think I just got that... I'll watch the commentary tomorrow while I'm cleaning and see what they say. I give this a 7 out of 10 with a plus 2 because I really am just a sucker for "Milo and Otis" and Neil Diamond references.
Now that those are out of the way, Janet's on her way back and I have to start the cleaning. I think my phone is shut off, so I need to wait until she gets back on Monday to call my motorcycle place and see about refunding it. I need to call a couple other places about my two computers (more like paper weights) and that other thing that I can do to make money. I have no money, so Star Wars is going to be put off for a little while, but that's fine since I really only want to see it in hopes that it makes up for the last two (another secret about me... I haven't even seen the original three).
